Solid robot

US scientists have invented a solid line of robots that can be thrown into any object and it will be tethered to it like a real snake.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say that solid robots can stick to lamp posts, trees, and even climb up sewers in buildings.

This robot is designed for use in areas difficult to reach by conventional means, such as earthquake zones, and for military and medical purposes.

"Using accelerometers next to each module of a solid robot, we can detect when a robot hits an electric pole or tree branch after being thrown, and it automatically grabs the object just in time. , the popular science team quoted the expert.

Inventors hope the new robots can be used to travel in narrow spaces, and even to the military's eye and ear when equipped with enough cameras.

The true power of these devices is that they are versatile, can perform all operations from crawling, crawling, climbing and swimming, according to the team.
